    CWS Software
    timeOut is well suited when you just want employees to be able to track PTO and know where they stand. It eliminates employees constantly asking what are the PTO balances available. It has somewhat limited functionality when it comes to clocking in and out, as well as integrating with payroll.

    It is good for basic increment usage. It was less appropriate for biweekly pay periods and for when work days are technically 7.5 hours with 1 hour unpaid lunch. It got kinda whacky with the numbers then since the concept of a day varied. It was great for transparency between employer and employee in terms of knowing how much PTO one has and how it was previously used. Good for history

    Vacation Tracker
    Because it did not serve us in the sense that our work day is 7.5 hours long. Otherwise, I liked how transparent it was between employer and employee. We wish it had a better way of working with 7.5 hour work days. It was easy to sign up and to introduce but ended up not being the right fit

    I believe that timeOut is more accurate to use and very user friendly from an employees point-of-view. However, in terms of Payroll Integration I did not find it to be better. Stand alone, timeOut is a great tool; but there is little data on my part in terms of how it successfully integrates with Payroll systems as well maintain an accurate count.

    We thought it was friendly and simple which it is but the issue with the time increments made it quite tricky to use. It is a lot more simplified than what we have used in the past as it really just tracks PTO and nothing else which is nice. However, the issue with our work day being 7.5 hours was not something that Vacation Tracker worked well with. If that changed then I would be much more open to looking into it again.
